IMHE, the donuts brains (scolymia, cynarina) are much easier, then Trachyphillia. Non of trachs, that I bought (damaged, as most my LPS, $10-15), survived. Same conditions, other brains-type corals are OK, as well as other corals.
RIP:

Other brains, before and after:
scolymia:

cynarina:

I assume, that this is Symphyllia valenciennesi:

Provided care - same as for candycane, in basic mixed nano-reef, under sunlight and moderate PC lighting.

These "Coral of the Week" threads are great! I just picked up a brain this week and had placed up half way up my rock work simply to add some color in that area of my display; however, after reading this I just moved it down to my sand bed and made sure it was shaded now to prevent bleaching.

Thanks (-;

good move jrf1175. Over time you can probably slowly move it back up where it was before. Just be very patient!....

I keep seeing that light whitish coloration with the neon pink, seems to be getting more plentiful in LFSs. Very pretty. Might investigate more for the next addition. later, later....
